Explanation:

Let´s start defining what is an indirect tax, the special ¨feature¨ of these is that can be passed from a determined entity to another one, or to an individual.

There are different kinds of Indirect taxes, like, Excise, Customs, even gas and sales taxes, these last ones, are charged practically in all the purchase transactions involving differents goods like clothing, household items, technology, gas, etc.

When Jimmy goes to the jewelry store for the ring, once he makes the purchase, without noticing it in first place, he will pay sales taxes based on the accessory full price, and the state sales tax rate, the final price of the ring, is the one being shown in the counter, it already has this indirect tax included.

However if for any reason Jimmy is interested in seeing information about  the indirect tax fee, he can check the transaction recipe, there will see explained information about the price of the item before the sales taxes, and after them.
